Baby shower

Lauren and I had a great time at our good friends' Brett and Dayna's babyshower. We are all excited for the arrival of their baby boy, Jackson!

Brett, Lauren, and mommy Dayna.

Brett's my best friend and I know he'll make a great dad.

Oh yeah, co-ed party games were involved. The trash bag bib was to protect my shirt from the disgusting baby food that Lauren was shoveling into my mouth as part of a baby food eating contest.

So long EPIC

After 11 weeks and 165 shows, we are off the EPIC. At 15 shows a week, it was a lot of work. On the same hand, at 15 shows a week, it was a lot of fun. Improv and overall performance-wise, I feel the strongest I have ever felt. It was a pleasure to work with a cast that could bring the funny, show after show, night after night. I got to see what the western and eastern Caribbean had to offer (not much). I got to work with Mick Napier. I developed a close relationship with some members of the cast. I ate a hummingbird heart. What can I say? I had a good time aboard the EPIC and I'm thankful to The Second City for the opportunity. Also, I am so happy to be HOME!

Here are some pics from our last week on the ship.

So long Slam

Last night a bunch of the crew showed up to the blues club Fat Cats to say goodbye to resident blues musician/singer, Mr. Slam Allen, who is leaving the ship for a bit. Slam is well liked by the passengers but is especially loved by the crew. He is generous with his stage and is always happy to have a member of the crew join him in singing a song or allowing them to pick up an instrument (from time to time he will hand over his own guitar) and jam . Last night was no different. It seemed that every crew member on board who had an instrument or could play one was on stage with Slam. The rest of us sang and danced. It was an awesome night.
Slam is seated with microphone in hand. Jared, the violinist from the Cirque Dreams show, surprised Slam with some electric viloin blues.
